<p><b>Summary</b><br>
As designers and researchers, the tools and techniques we employ have remained largely unchanged over the past few decades.&nbsp;<br></p>
<p>Currently, the promise of the Internet of Things is forcing us to broaden our focus as we apply those tools.&nbsp; Even the most entrenched interaction, visual, or product designer will be required to think in different terms as many common tasks and interactions that we take for granted become multi-modal.&nbsp;<br></p>
<p>As IoT becomes more and more of a reality, we also have to take stock of the fact that we are not only designing for the interaction between a user and a product, but also product to product interaction and interactions that span modalities, devices, and different contexts of use.&nbsp; We will have to examine the concept of the expert user as more and more of these interactions become seamless, ubiquitous and invisible.</p>
